Provisional Timetable

?n the age of direct action and sporadic mass mobilisation against a
multiplicity of forces of oppression and perceived injustices, this
conference aims to explore the involvement of the critical human geographer
in lives beyond the academy. Through paper presentations and workshops it is
hoped that delegates will explore the issues surrounding the potential for,
and pitfalls of, putting critical geography into action, and the politics,
ethics and practicalities critical geographers face in:
?
?Feeding into policy
?ngaging in activism
?ndertaking consultancy work
?Contributing to local/national debates/politics
?triving to engender change in local communities
?reating critical classrooms
?
?ey speakers include
